I’m a big dog person but have never owned puppies. I moved into my apartment and this cute puppy kept following me around hanging outside my apartment. I talked to other people in the complex and they all said she’s been hanging around for about a month. I decided to try and bring her in as I was already looking to adopt of dog from the humane society. So I took her in and posted trying to find her home in case she was lost and was planning on taking her into the humane society to check for a chip. Needless to say. She was super sweet, cuddly, didn’t chew on anything but wasn’t potty trained which makes since cause she’s a puppy and a stray. However she would refuse to pee in front of me. Taking her outside she wouldn’t go but would hide and try to pee and shit in the house. One night I spent over 1 hour with her outside and she didn’t go to the bathroom. I even tried to schedule with the feeding and setting alarms to take her out every 2 hours even when I was sleeping. She would never go outside. She also had horrible separation anxiety. She followed me everywhere and when I left would straight up bark till I came home. Sadly... I called the humane society because they couldn’t take her in at first to check for the chip so three days in I’m still waiting. Once I realized I can’t take care of this dog the way it needs to be I called again and asked if they had room or reviewed my intake application and they said no. They said I would just have to wait. So needless to say I figured she was a stray living in these complexes for a month. She knows the way here and would probably stay around. So I left her outside thinking she would be happy and be able to take care of herself. I left food out and she would come to my door and I’d let her in and play with her. I figured this would work till I hear back from the humane society. But I haven’t seen her for a week and I feel awful. The last time I saw her I was leaving for work and she followed me to my car and tried to follow my car. So I literally got out and led her the way to my door and gave her a hug and said bye. I feel awful like that her separation anxiety caused her to go looking and now she’s in a worse place because of me. Am I bad person?
